The sequel:

The non-drinking taxpayers who have to fund the bailout the government (e.g., the politicians) has put in place are so depressed with the loss of their investments and the increased taxes they will have to pay, have turned to alcohol to fog their depression. As a result, Heidi has opened up another bar - cash and credit card only - to handle this clientele. This allows Heidi to collect bailout money from one failed business, profit from the second, and vacation in Aruba (thanks mainly to the bailout money which has no accountability).
